SCC Role in Use Cases Recognized need & stepped forward as coordinator Like all SCC activities/work products, IDESG is the consumer – SCC is the enabler – IDESG must be an active participant (contribute, comment, approve) – Collaborative process must be defined We have provided a starting point – Draft use case document and template [ready for MC review, provided to all Chairs, or sent to MC] – Draft list of some potential use cases under development 6

SCC Role in Terminology As for Use-Cases, SCC has stepped up as enabler and coordinator Proposed methodology – Lightweight – Inclusive – Being finalized in response to comments Will start with concepts that are core to IDESG Will maximize use of existing and agreed terminologies 7

Functional Model What is a functional model of the ID Ecosystem? – A conceptual architecture – Identifies the component elements (functionally) – Identifies the relationships between these elements Our focus on functional model is strictly identifying the technical components and describing in some detail how the technical components work together to support Identity Ecosystem functionality. Starting point: – Figure 4 - Identity Ecosystem, found on page 26 of the NSTIC document (dated April 2011). 8

Identity Ecosystem vs Identity Ecosystem Framework 9

Functional Model – 2 thrusts Functional model of the overall Identity Ecosystem Generic functional model of existing IDM systems – Enumerating relevant existing IDM systems based on open standards – Key among these include: ITU-T X.1250 Baseline capabilities for enhancing global identity management and interoperability using public telecommunication networks and services ISO/IEC A framework for identity management - Part 1 (also Parts 2 & 3) OASIS, Kantara, OpenID, etc. – Next steps: Synthesize a generic model representing commonality & key aspects of each IDM system considered Document the converged results as a baseline Functional Model most representative of existing systems Going forward, this Functional Model will be updated as appropriate based on technical design requirements derived from the IDESG adopted use cases for functionality and privacy protection 10

Functional Model The SCC is a supporting actor in this effort! We STRONGLY believe that this is a key IDESG activity and deserves attention. – Needs a HOME, Champion, and focused effort applied – A “sanctioned” activity 11

Status to Date Activities underway – Strawman development/collaboration/ approval process flow/ definition – Collaboration platform requirements – Inventories (all areas) – Standards adoption policy Artifacts (available, but in progress) – Draft charter – Workplan – Use Case Plan – Terminology Catalog – Standards Inventory – Comment templates 12

Approach Collaborate on ALL our activities and work products Collaborate on defining the end-to-end process – 2 aspects: Define workflow to get to end goal Define collaboration mechanisms In addition – Invite participation in the SCC Ad-Hoc Groups – Liaison/rapporteur activities – Joint meetings – Topic/work area meetings 13

Need Collaboration platform – In process of developing requirements set – Once draft is ready, we will share and solicit inputs on this as well. – To be used in the context of a process 14
